I’ve been reading up a storm this summer, but now I see that I need an entire extra summer to add all these good things to my list. I’m especially keen to take up YOU ARE NOT A GADGET, but in the meantime, I recommend the books I have gotten through so far: Robin Black’s IF I LOVED YOU I WOULD TELL YOU THIS; Alice Munro’S TOO MUCH HAPPINESS; John d’Agata’s ABOUT A MOUNTAIN; Paul Harding’s Pulitzer Prize winner TINKERS; Bill McKibben’s EAARTH; and Scott Russell Sanders’ A CONSERVATIONIST MANIFESTO. Thanks for putting this together. Happy Reading, everyone.
